WHAT IS PNEUMATIC BIKE
A bike which use pressurize air as a fuel is
known as pneumatic bikes.
I.C. power engines are replaced by fluid power.
The power system in the vehicle is not by
combustion of fuel but by means of pressurized
fluid power (air).
If we arrange the whole system in a particular
manner then we can achieve it.
OBJECTIVES
To replace the conventional two wheeler power
source by fluid power source.
To meet environment pollution and regulation
act.
To save the economy of the nation and as well as
every individual.
To bring zero pollution factor.
Concept of pneumatic engine:
CONSTRUCTION
Basic set up consist of four parts
COMPRESSOR
• The compressor has a motor whose supply is
fed from a rechargeable battery.
• The air compressor increases the pressure of
gas by reducing the volume of gas as described
by the perfect gas laws.

ELECTRIC MOTOR :
Electric motor is a rotary actuator which is
used initially to drive the
vehicle to overcome the initial torque required to
drive the vehicle with load.
Once the vehicle gains the initial momentum
and the running torque and a stipulated speed say
(20 km/hr), the power system is switched over to
the pneumatic system from the electrical.
This is achieved by simple relay operation.
NC& NO RELAY (NORMALLY CLOSED AND
OPENED RELAY) The NC-1 relays which feeds
the signal from the torque sensor whose signal is
of the analog form and therefore NC-1 becomes
NO-1 i.e. no longer motor is used to drive the
system.
Similarly, signal from the other end from the
same sensor is fed to NO-2 there by making NO-
2 as NC-2.
Therefore the relay operation acts as a bridge
for switching the power system.
TORQUE SENSOR:-
Torque sensor is a transducer which converts
the torque acting on the wheel into analog signal.
The signal is then send to the relays and thereby
playing an immigrant part in switching over the
power from motor to cylinder.
The cylinders which now start reciprocating
become the drive source.
The sensor picks up the pressure caused by the
cylinder during extension and retraction. The
signal from the sensor is fed to solenoid valve
which subsequently shifts the ports based on the
side the signal is fed to the valve.
